Student Life

Pope John Paul II Preparatory School strives to create a Catholic culture in a cooperative community. Our goal is to foster and develop a sense of morality, responsibility, and social consciousness in each student. 

We want our students to form strong and lasting relationships with their peers, teachers, and coaches, and we provide a variety of events for this to happen. Beginning with the new student orientation to the "Senior Walk" before graduation, students embrace opportunities to have fun. There are pep rallies, tailgates, House games, dances, retreats, community service, and many more opportunities for students to bond and make lasting memories and life-long friendships. 

Congratulations to our high school Knights on a Mission for December!  These Knights were nominated by teachers for living out the mission of being strong in mind, body, character, or spirit.

High School students living out the mission of Pope John Paul II Preparatory School

 

Pope Prep sixth-grade students had an adventurous and educational class trip at the Clyde M. York 4-H Center in Crossville. Students participated in experiential learning “science survival” activities, including first aid training, shelter building, zip lining, navigation, and archery. They enjoyed a candlelit Night Prayer Service as they reflected on the theme of their trip, “Be the Light.” They had a great two days of learning, growing, and building community with their sixth-grade class! 

 

The class of 2024 began their senior year of high school with traditional balloons, backpacks, and a blessing from Fr. Ohanaka. God bless the class of 2024 and all of our wonderful students and teachers who begin their new year today!
